About the artist:
Daniela Morgada aka LUZITA has been working as a ceramist since 2019.
At the time she decided to take a ceramics course and immediately fell in love with the material and craft. Ever since she has had her own projects but it was mostly lamps that she focused on.
Why? Because Daniela loves big pieces and lamps allow her that.
In 2021, she finally opened her own ceramic studio and since then she is able to host workshops, both in ceramics and tile painting.
She loves having people at her studio and sharing her knowledge. Some of her students even became ceramists themselves now! This is making Daniela super-happy.

Customer Reviews
Emmanuel did a great job holding the workshop.
He told us a lot about the history of the tiles and it was very interesting to hear about all the influences.
He taught us a way to paint the tiles. While we had to wait for the paint to dry, he served us white port tonic and it was delicious!
After the drink the painting was going smoothly and after some hours we could take our finished tiles.
Thank you Emmanuel for the relaxing and interesting workshop!
Would do it again!
We had a great time in Danielas Atelier. We learned a lot about the traditional tile produktion and enjoyed making our own tile! Thank you for the wonderful time!
Excellent tile painting workshop led by Daniela who is very skilled in leading us into the history and steps to create our individual tile painting. I was with four others, an ideal group of friendly individuals from the U.S. and from India. Daniela makes sure we understood each step and then quickly got us started with painting the tile. Allow at least 2 hours—we were all so absorbed in our painting the time flew by. She uses acrylic paints and applies a final glaze so that we can take home the finished tile and skip the firing process. I recommend this tile painting workshop without hesitation. It is a wonderful way to learn about the role of tiles in Portuguese history, and why these tiles remain so important. The tiles you see in the country take on greater relevance by doing this workshop. Sign up as soon as you make plans to visit Porto!
